Review summary

A couple tips - the disembarkation line was very easy with a passport. Getting off without a passport had a HUGE line that looked like it took hours. Also, if you are ubering to/from the port, it can be dicey. We stayed in Long Beach the night before and had an Uber scheduled to the port on the morning of for a few weeks prior. The Uber cancelled the morning of and then several other drivers cancelled after accepting when seeing we were going to port (on both Uber and Lyft). Then, after getting off the ship, it took us about an hour to finally get a ride and we had multiple people in our small group on both apps seeking a driver.

Embarkation

Ubering to and from port (Long Beach) can be dicey - several cancelled on us once they saw we were heading to port including the one I had scheduled ahead of time.

Giving five stars as getting off the Panorama was easy. However, actually leaving the port was another story. See other comments

Long Beach cruise terminal has been having congestion problems from 11 am to 1 pm. I can’t blame drivers for not wanting to sit in line for an extra 45 minutes. Plan to get there before or after those times.
